Help!
History: 97 Passat 1Z was running pretty well. Occasionally, the pump would lose it's prime and require some cranking to start, but it basically ran well.
I checked the IP timing using VCDS before we did the timing belt and it showed that it was within spec but retarded. I was hoping to pick up a little power once the car was retimed after the TB.
I had my local mechanic (and buddy) do the timing belt. This was using the correct metalnerd tools and the procedure from myturbodiesel.com
At the same time as the TB, a new IP bracket was swapped in which required removal of the pump.
Overnight, after the TB work, the IP lost it's prime and needed the Mity Vac to pull fuel. Once started it ran "OK" but smokey. I drove it around to warm it up, but it was noticeably gutless and I don't think the turbo kicked in. No CELs though.
Once warm, we checked timing using VCDS, it would either be too far advanced to be displayed or bounce between retarded and off the charts advanced. Note that we moved the pump with the car running without loosening any of the fuel lines. The car smokes now and did not before.
With the adaptation turned off (000) the car would run very rough.
I took a video of the VCDS which is here: http://realityisreality.com/tdi/VIDEO0001.3gp (I think you need Quicktime to play this).
In looking at the video it looks like I did not have the right engine selected in VCDS when I made the video, but I'm pretty sure I did when we were adjusting prior to shooting the video.
This was a car that ran well prior to the TB, so I'm thinking that we missed something in doing the timing procedure.
Is it correct to have the engine running while moving the pump?
The battery was disconnected during the TB procedure. Could this have lost some programming that's needed?
Should I check other settings?
I'd appreciate any pointers. I'm going out there again tomorrow, but don't have internet there, so hoping to fill up on troubleshooting procedures now.
Thanks!

P.S. Seatman from TDIClub suggested I read the ALH procedure here: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/forum/f21/how-install-new-timing-belt-jetta-new-beetle-golf-alh-engine-1998-2003-a-2976/ Now that I've posted my first post, I'll have access to read that.
